I'd love to have a Gray. When the B&G squawks she leaves my ears ringing. Even if there's 2 closed doors between us. She talks a little but not often and usually it's before or after an episode of squawking.

Because all the people that personally saw a dinosaur didn't live long enough to tell anyone about it.

Dinosaurs "dominated the earth"... So people would have at least noticed the massive footprints, carcasses and huge piles of dinosaur shit everywhere.

Some of the smaller ones are believed to had evolved into modern day birds. We know some dinosaurs had feathers and new evidence from fossils show that even the Trex may even had feathers as well.

Most likely, many of the smaller species may had survived long enough for them to thrive for a few million years to evolve into the need for flight. They were already small with small bones and had feathers. Just like a squirrel developing flaps to "fly" evolve further and a need to go longer distances and you have a flight creature and further is a bird.
